MTV has halted production on reality series Catfish following allegations of sexual misconduct made against executive producer and host Yaniv "Nev" Schulman. A spokesperson for MTV said, "We take these allegations very seriously. We're working with Critical Content, our third-party production company, to conduct a thorough investigation and we've put a pause on shooting until the investigation is completed." Catfish began airing on the network in 2012, a television version of the 2010 documentary of the same name which followed Schulman's online relationship with a woman who presented herself as her own daughter online.
